PharmD + CIA = ?

[Filler]

So for as long as I can remember..I've always been interested in the U.S government, particularly that of the CIA. I don't know, maybe it was James Bond or Jason Bourne that got me interested. Regardless, I've always had this fascination of working in the agency.

Having checked the CIA website, they're interested in science and specific humanity backgrounds. I'm wondering, would having a PharmD carry the same weight as having a chemistry degree to getting a job there? Also, does anyone know what type of jobs inside the agency a person with a PharmD could actually do?

This is all hypothetical. I'm just trying to keep my options open 😀

P.S: I'm Bengali, and have been brought up in a Muslim background. I can speak Arabic/Farsi fairly well. So I think I can definitely qualify linguistic wise.

Honestly, due to your background you would probably be used as a translator or maybe out in the field at best... Not sure how your background in Pharm would be utilized, but you would probably have to go to strenuous training, background checks and so forth. Honestly, the job doesn't look that exciting, only because you have to deal with politics within the organization, numerous relocation, and forget about having a stable family. It really is a thankless job

Here is an interesting book that I read over the summer
